Things We Learned From Bindlestitch

"...Tyr deliberately let go so he could pull Höhne inside and shut the door. Sure, it looked like Tyr had risked his life to save Höhne’s, but he probably just wanted to get the doorway clear so he could close it. Thinking things like that probably lets him sleep a just Nietzschean sleep at night."
-Viridian5, on the Andromeda ep "Ouroboros"

"Okay, they can't kill him. I know, it's Farscape. But they can't kill Crichton. They've run out of spares."
-elishavah

"That expanse of exposed abdomen in Callisto's armor practically screams, 'Disembowel me!' Impractical as it is, at least Xena's armor affords protection over a few vital areas. Gabrielle's costume, of course, offers no protection whatsover, serves no practical purpose, and practically screams, 'God, I love my Stairmaster!'"
-Jacqueline, Chakram magazine

"The gratuitous cussing from dS ended up in HCL. The gratuitous bondage scenes from HCL ended up in dS. If anyone finds the gratuitous sex scenes from any of the above, contact us ASAP."
-Things We Learned From Bindlestitch

"...and Joss did look upon his works, and did think they were good, 'cause let's face it, Joss thinks A LOT of himself, yea, and he did read the multitudes speaking unto him that he was ratings whore who had run out of ideas, and that was less good, but he spake to them thus:
'Dudes. Chill.'"

"Wolverine's always struck me as a 'Hey, what does that button do?' kinda guy...."
-random a.t.b-v-s poster

"I was trying to convince her of the joy that is Merry/Pippin. She says 'incest-squick,' whereas I say 'cute-hobbits-exclamation-mark.' It's a heated debate. In any case, I was thinking about it, and I've decided that the problem I do have with M/P is the sex. I'm just not sure that hobbits *have* sex. I get the feeling that they lie about on the grass fully clothed and pick flowers in the sunshine, and that's how they reproduce. With hobbit-pollen. Like wheat germ."
-random LOTR fan

"Hey, Aeryn's gorgeous -- she can change any guy's tune. She can also change 'im from tenor to soprano, but that's beside the point."

-Drew Goddard on Buffy

"Dylan says that he didn't, because he remembered something else his mother used to tell him, which is that all that glitters isn't gold. Somewhere, _Smallville_'s Clark Kent is wondering how this space captain is channeling his dad."

-Shack and Sandman on Jaynelust, TWoP forums

"Apparently, if you pick Harper up and *choke* him he just wraps his legs around your waist and keeps punching you. I find that kind of talent impressive. I need to see more of that. I think it's good to know that if you pick him up by his neck, his instinct is to wrap his legs around your waist.
"Uhm. Back now."
-Viridian5

"He's a quirky fellow, he, uh... his inner child has been beaten."

-Ravencall and tobey re: Jayne, TWoP forum

"I can't even take him seriously when I'm writing him. He's so cute when he's being melodramatic."
-Aoe, on writing Aya

"The last scene is this soppy thing about how Beka can't feel her dad's spirit in the Maru anymore and Dylan says that her dad is still in her heart, tapping her chest... in a friendly, comforting way. Jeez. When Dylan isn't grabbing Beka by the shoulders or touching her chest, he's taking advantage of Harper. Is he Captain Bad Touch or what? Karra's calling him 'Captain Sexual Harassment Suit.' In my head, Beka said, 'No, Dylan, my father doesn't live on in my left breast.'"
-Viridian5

"Um, if T'raltixx is blind, why is he in the business of building invisibility devices? How would he know if one worked?"

"Why would anyone religious Mary Sue themselves into the Bible? I mean, I know God is loving and all, but only 2000 years ago he was a vengeful, angry god. Do we REALLY want to push it?"
-Amy

"There are several million cops named Ray, and they're all having sex with one another. Occasionally, they let the Mountie join in, but quite possibly only because he's in uniform and the Mountie title is situationally appropriate. There's a wolf running around, but I don't think he's involved with the Ray orgies. Unless there's something no one's told me about."
-Troll Princess's summary of Due South

"Dee realizes that's some kind of half-assed confession and says, 'aww, that's so sweet!' then tells Ryo that he has no intention of having an in the closet relationship. Let's be honest for a moment here -- I don't think Dee is even familiar with what the inside of the closet looks like."

-Troll Princess, on things she learned from watching Underworld

"She's Ginny's best friend. And Draco likes her, according to Ginny. How the Ginny would know this, I don't know.
Perhaps it went something like this:
Draco: Hah! I mock you, small Weasley! Your family is poor and you are ugly! Oh, and by the way I have a huge crush on your friend.
Ginny: ..........What?"
-Neev, at the Mary Sue Report

"Persia gives them the gist of the situation, the players involved, and rallies their spirits with a gruff 'Deny these dark beasts their tomorrows!' Weiss never seem to find this war cry as amusing as I do, but I suppose it's good they take their work seriously."
-Jenny Penny, performing the thankless task of summarizing Weiß Kreuz

"Just had the most bizarre image of Omi from WK saying 'Do you have any idea how hard it is to find contact lenses that fit?'. I suppose it's a valid problem."

"Yes, the FBI no doubt has in-house people and other consultants and, yeah, maybe this just pushes the plausibility question back to 'Why aren't Don and his team familiar with those people?'"
"Well, the thing is, they are. Just, Don's a little too familiar with one or two of them, and, well, let's just say it would have been nice if Don had thought to call afterwards."

"I am disturbed less by the hot woman dressed as a tree and more by the knowledge that, at this moment, somebody could be in my backyard, humping a Southern pine."
-donna re: Jabe from Doctor Who

And then Copperbadge starts watching SGA...

"Why is all this Ancient technology apparently based on the concept of the rotary telephone? Seriously, the wisdom of the ages and they can't get to touchtone? We managed it, and we were all stuck in the 1980s at the time."

"I find myself to my fucking horror shipping McKay/Weir. Which might break the laws of physics, given his speed and her inertia."

"Doctor Haggis McKilterscot, I was totally going to give you your name back in this episode, and then despite the fact that you were wearing a radio you actually ran to the gateroom to pass along the news that a homicidal maniac was loose in the city. NO NAME FOR YOU."

"I like the idea that somewhere in McKay's computer there is a little program that calculates his daily average radiation exposure and keeps a running tally. Encourage his neuroses! Also, he's a big mad scientist, isn't he? He homebrews sunscreen. I dread to think what would happen if he used his powers for evil instead of SPF."

"Hello there, unexpected Sheppard/Ronon D/s. Nice to meet you. In a collar and stuff."

"David Hewlett is very good at falling down. Also, ranting. I would very much like to see him and Hugh Laurie do sketch comedy together. Lots of falling and ranting."

"Seriously, when Ronon is giving you advice about how to conduct your scientific inquiries, you know you're in trouble. The man had to be pointed at forks."

"One of the arguably nice things about SGA is that future plot arcs are at least hard to predict, because apparently nobody told these guys about foreshadowing."

-Willow, Buffy, and Spike, "Elaisias" by Saber Shadowkat

[Angel] was trying for 'patient', but he was well aware that it was coming over as 'mental patient.' Which was par for the course, with Spike in spitting distance. Two complete psychos together. Add in Drusilla, and you'd have a nice box of assorted nuts.
-"Friends and Family" by Forged

"I am gonna catch that bastard or my name isn't--FUCK!"
-Kowalski, "Chicago's Most Wanted" by Speranza

Eastern shore of the Anduin, February 26, 3019
Ow. Ow. Ow. Had a truly rotten day. Don't feel like writing. Say look, a talking tree--
-"Nine Men and a Little Lady" by Kielle

Avon didn't suffer fools lightly. In his heart, he knew everyone in the Galaxy was of baser intelligence compared to *himself*. That explained quite nicely why he was such a perfect picture of a misanthrope. That, and years of practicing his menacing glare in front of the mirror.
-"Cream" by Emma Scot

"What was the 4 a.m. thing all about, anyway?"
"I had to fight a minion of Satan who looked like my dead father. How was your day?"
"The Satan?"
"'The' Satan? How many other Satans do you know?"
"Could just be a guy with pretensions. The Witchblade seems to draw pretentious guys. Stop looking at me like that."
-Gabriel and Sara, "Alone" by Viridian5

"You do remember the last one, do you? The one where you ended up kissing Snape?"
Sirius' smile dropped. "We. Do. Not. Speak. Of. This."
-"A Hogwarts Paranoia" by Mi

Aziraphale peered at him.
"My dear boy," he said, "have you ever known our people to be able to tell a joke?"
"Er." Crowley scratched the back of his neck. "The platypus was rather funny, I thought."
-"It's A Kind of Magic" by Moony

"Ray, listen to me. I talked this over with my father--"
"Your father's dead, Fraser."
"Yes, I know. But that hasn't stopped him from giving me the occasional piece of advice. My father said--"
"Wait, wait, run that by me again. Your father, who's dead--"
"Yes."
"--is giving you advice about your relationship with me?"
"Yes."
"I don't understand."
"My father is like the Love of God. He passeth all understanding."
-Fraser and Kowalski, "Interrogation" by Speranza

[Spike] had mostly either forgotten or simply not cared about Willow's demon-ness, and was mentally working out a wedding invitation list. Since he'd killed most of the people he knew, it wasn't a long one.

-Jason and Iolaus, "When Hellmouths Collide" by Kimberley Rector and Martha Wilson

Hah! [Methos] just won a five dollar bet with himself. Part of him was highly annoyed. Another part was gloating. He reminded himself to pay himself when he got back to the room. He also reminded himself that he should really do something about this closet schizophrenia. Part of him told him to go to hell. He couldn't tell which part.
-"Time To Spare" by Catherine Boone

"Ah don't like him."
"Why not? He's cute."
"He smells like gasoline."
"So? He can shower."
"No, he can't. We took the instructions off the soap."
-Rogue and Jubilee, "All Foam, No Beer" by Troll Princess

The up side of surrealism--and God knows their work had given him enough reason to appreciate it--was that it secured a priceless politeness on Fraser's face. Sort of a "don't mind me, I go to Mars all the time, what lovely heads you have" look.
-"Chance Met" by xoverau

He bit the end off the sentence, but it was too late. He could blame the headache. In fact, Tarrant thought, he must have a concussion. Featuring just below Servalan, Blake, and hey-remember-the-time-you-lost-Liberator on the list of topics not to raise with Avon was age.
-"...And What Happened After" by Manna

Moral dilemmas not being his strong point--he could identify one if it was a multiple guess test--Bodie nevertheless threw himself into this one.

"If your work is sexually harassing you--"
"It's consensual, I swear."
-Dylan and Harper discuss machine lube, "System Checks" by Viridian5

"Hey, guess who I found!"
"Jesus? I hear he’s always in the last place you look."

Bloody hell on toast, how the love of all his lives could whine, Spike thought, then mentally reminded himself that he'd always liked the high-maintenance ones.

-Beka and Harper, "You Say" by Viridian5

Crowley didn't stand for much. If anything, he would occasionally recline, with disinterest.

"Ohtto," said the Kappa. "Had you not added those last words I would have been a friend to you forever and shared all my beer with you, and so I will do.

-Schuldig, "With Friends Like These" by Truth

"Well, forgive me if I don't meet your high Canadian standards. Maybe you people do Pitch-Dark Chess or Midnight Monopoly or something, but where I come from there's only two things to do in the dark, and one of 'em you sure as hell don't wanna be doing with me."
"No, it's true, you do snore rather loudly."
-Kowalski and Fraser, "In The Dark" by Resonant

"So, lemme get t'is straight. You nutters go out in public in black leat'er and call yerselves the EX-Men like a gang o'bleedin' transsexuals, and t'ere are people out t'ere who willin'ly give you t'eir children?"
-Mick, "All Foam, No Beer" by Troll Princess

"Of course," Bodie echoed weakly. Besides having an evil twin, it appeared he also had a gay triplet.
-"Fly On the Wall" by Lezlie Conch

"You're saying I'm Canadian. I don't feel Canadian."

-"With Friends Like These" by Truth

Lightning was flashing around Duncan and the Borg; unfortunately it had very little to do with the Quickening, and lots to do with the stupidity of attacking a cyborg with a metal sword.

"And that statement would be ‘blow me up’?"
-Vecchio and Fraser, "Nevermore" by Viridian5

"I know. I got too distracted watching porn, and forgot to water them."
-Ran and Ken, "Old Souls" by Aoe

"Perhaps the men's room?"
"I'm *busy*. Changing the rendezvous place isn't gonna make me
any less busy."
-Fraser and Kowalski, "Wayward" by Viridian5

Mr. Summers froze, and I wasn't all that surprised by it. They never had liked each other that much. I mean, I think it was a jealousy thing. Not so much that Logan had a thing for Miss Grey, which he did, but more along the lines of Logan had much better hair than Mr. Summers.
-Jubilee, "When Milk Goes Bad, and Other Reality TV Shows" by Troll Princess

"I mean punished. Being subjected to punishment. For bringing the killers of my father to justice." Fraser sighed wearily and closed his eyes. "You do remember the killers of my father, Ray? I talk about them all the time.

"I think I picked the wrong month to quit smoking."
"I think I picked the wrong life not to start."

-"A Moment Of Insight" by Speranza

Oh, yeah. Join Schwarz for the anarchistic mayhem. Stay for the surreal conversation.
-Schuldig, "Nerve" by Viridian5

"I, uh, yeah," Ray said nervously; he hated talking to nuns, it made him feel like he was in some Japanese monster movie, being attacked by giant but benevolent penguins.
-"Chicago's Most Wanted" by Speranza

Logan didn't quite know how to respond to that. He quickly went over the usual options -- kill, maim, torture, beat up, antagonize, drink beer with, growl at, and bombard with lame come-on lines -- and noticed with a wistful sigh that "scream like a girl and run for the hills" was not on the list.
-"All Foam, No Beer" by Troll Princess

"You know that your life has gone terribly, horribly wrong somewhere when nuns vandalize your car. I mean--really. That has just got to be some sort of low point, right?"
"Yeah, well--sure sounds that way."

-Kowalski and Welsh, "Chicago's Most Wanted" by Speranza

-Wes re: Angel, "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" by Martha Wilson

"Did you hit your head harder than you thought? You’re hallucinating puppies."
-Sirius, "Just Breathe" by Setissma

I was suddenly feeling very "kill them all and let the Divine sort them out." Sid addicted me to Flash. Rafe takes advantage of the fact that I have some precious few qualms about fratricide. Dylan's insane and insensitive and if Sid killed him, I could be in charge of the Andromeda. Tyr's all right, I guess. He had a gun pointed at my brother, though. I couldn't decide if that was good or bad. Sid raised me. Rafe's my brother. Dylan has his moments. Tyr's very pretentious.
-Beka, "Something to Do" by Drusilla Rain

“Take up thy BDSM cucumber and walk,” Farfarello yawned.

Once upon a time, John Sheppard was forced to watch Waterworld with a girl he was not-dating. (2)

Beka's Log: We've been sent to defrost the Andromeda. Considering the title of the show, we figure this job may have a future.
-"Under the Night"

Hunt: Put away that pun and fight like a man!
-"Under the Night"

Courier: (over the comm) Come quickly, Andromeda! You're desperately needed!
Hunt: By whom?
Courier: The Nietzscheans. They've gone to the trouble of setting up a whole ambush just for you.
Rhade: We'd be very inconsiderate to disappoint them, sir.

Andromeda: Here I come to save the day!

Beka: Well...nice little vicious circle we've got here.
-"An Affirming Flame"

Andromeda: No, sir.

Beka: Eureka! I have a plan to save us all.
Maru: Do tell.
Beka: Whether your ego believes it or not, I wasn't talking to you.
-"Exit Strategies"

Tyr: Nice dress. I'm surprised you didn't run out of paint.

Tyr: What's wrong with the one we have?
